- A.
Symbol
- B.
Element
- C.
Color
- D.
Pictograph
Correct Answer
B. ElementExplanation
In design, a basic constituent part is referred to as an "element." Elements are the building blocks that make up a design, such as lines, shapes, textures, and forms. They are combined and arranged to create a visually appealing composition. Symbols, colors, and pictographs are also important in design, but they are not specifically referred to as constituent parts. Therefore, the correct answer is "element."Rate this question:

___ is ymmetry about a central axis.
- A.
Radial symmetry
- B.
Asymmetry
- C.
Bilateral symmetry
- D.
Orbital symmetry
Correct Answer
A. Radial symmetryExplanation
Radial symmetry is the correct answer because it refers to an arrangement where the body parts of an organism are arranged around a central axis, like the spokes of a wheel. This type of symmetry can be observed in organisms such as starfish or jellyfish, where any plane passing through the central axis will divide the organism into identical halves. Asymmetry refers to the absence of symmetry, bilateral symmetry refers to a body plan divided into left and right halves, and orbital symmetry is not a recognized type of symmetry.Rate this question:

An engineer is designing a part for an boat. The part has a volume of 35.6 cubic inches. The manufacturer in China uses metric equipment. What measurement should the manufacturer use?
- A.
35.6 cubic inches
- B.
35.6 cubic centimeters
- C.
583.4 cubic centimeters
- D.
90.4 cubic centimeters
Correct Answer
C. 583.4 cubic centimetersExplanation
The manufacturer in China should use the measurement of 583.4 cubic centimeters. Since the engineer is designing the part in cubic inches, the manufacturer needs to convert this measurement to cubic centimeters because they use metric equipment. To convert cubic inches to cubic centimeters, you multiply the measurement by the conversion factor of 16.387. Therefore, 35.6 cubic inches multiplied by 16.387 equals 583.4 cubic centimeters.Rate this question:
